SHOWA N-DEX Free 7705PFT Accelerator-Free Nitrile Gloves – 4 Mil, Box of 100

SHOWA N-DEX Free 7705PFT Accelerator-Free Nitrile Gloves

SHOWA N-DEX Free 7705PFT gloves combine an accelerator-free nitrile formulation with a fluorescent green color and textured fingertips. The 4 mil construction supports tactile handling, while the 9.5-inch length and rolled cuff provide familiar disposable glove coverage. Each ASA order unit contains 100 gloves, making this listing suitable for dispensing at workstations and routine glove changes.

These powder-free gloves are made without natural rubber latex. Their ambidextrous design allows either glove to fit either hand, simplifying replacement during work. The green color can help distinguish gloves within a facility's color-coded program, although color alone does not identify a protection rating or guarantee contamination detection.

Accelerator-Free Does Not Mean Allergy-Free

SHOWA identifies the 7705PFT as accelerator-free. This is a useful selection feature for workers avoiding chemical accelerators used in some rubber glove formulations. Powder-free describes a separate feature: the absence of added glove powder. A powder-free glove is not necessarily accelerator-free.

Natural rubber latex proteins and rubber-processing chemicals can cause different allergic reactions. Nitrile avoids natural rubber latex proteins, while an accelerator-free formulation addresses a different potential source of sensitivity. Neither claim guarantees that every wearer will tolerate the glove. Irritation or sensitivity to other components can still occur.

Review NIOSH guidance on preventing latex allergies when managing workplace glove selection. Workers with symptoms should stop using the suspected glove and seek appropriate medical evaluation. This guidance is not NIOSH certification of the 7705PFT.

Chemical Selection and Protection Limits

Do not assume that accelerator-free and conventional nitrile gloves have equivalent chemical resistance. Formulation, thickness, chemical concentration, temperature and exposure time affect performance. Review the substance's safety data sheet and current manufacturer compatibility information for this exact glove before assigning it to chemical work.

Neither the nitrile material nor a 4 mil thickness establishes a safe breakthrough time. A thicker glove is not automatically suitable for a particular substance. Replace gloves according to the assessed task and manufacturer guidance, and immediately after damage or contamination that compromises protection. Do not wash disposable gloves for reuse.

This listing does not establish a medical examination, chemotherapy, fentanyl, cut, needle-puncture, impact or heat-protection rating. Choose separately documented protection when the task requires one of those capabilities. Assess entanglement hazards around moving machinery before requiring gloves.

Food Handling, Fit and Purchasing

SHOWA's product page lists Food Contact and food-processing applications for this model. Follow the facility's hygiene and glove-change procedures; gloves do not replace handwashing or prevent cross-contamination when the same pair moves between incompatible tasks. Explore ASA's food processing PPE for related workplace supplies.

Select a size that allows finger movement without excess material bunching at the fingertips. Avoid overstretching when donning, and inspect for damage before work. Plan box quantities around actual glove changes rather than headcount alone.

ASA sells one box of 100 gloves. Manufacturer case packaging is 20 boxes, totaling 2,000 gloves. SHOWA also lists XS, but this ASA listing offers S through XL. SHOWA's U.S. model page identifies Made in USA and TAA status; confirm the supplied packaging and procurement documentation when those attributes are contract requirements.
